One Month BDay

Almost smiling, these are getting common, but hard to catch.

Superbaby for Halloween?

Whoa, fat cheeks.

Tummy time.

Aina's first few weeks.

Here are some images of Aina's first few weeks in our lives.

My oversized ride!

First bath.

Way more stylish than her parents.

Loungin' with papa in her new cloth diapers, thanks Aunt Katie.

Getting manhandled by papa.

Lots o these going around.

First cry, kidding.

Little devil horns, so soon??

And one unflattering pic to end, we have lots more of these than the cute ones.

40 weeks, right on time!

This is the day we started labor, Friday.  I was feeling great and really excited.  When I should have been sleeping and getting ready for the birth marathon, we did errands and cleaned up around the house.

A quiet moment during labor in the birthing pool.  Saturday afternoon.

Aina arrives!!!!  This was around 2am on Sunday morning after about a day and a half of labor.  Mama, papa, baby and midwife were all exhausted, but happy with the outcome.  We had a healthy, 7lb, 7oz little girl at our home in Minturn, CO.  This is us getting a little O2 right after Aina's arrival.  Somebody dropped the ball on my hair and makeup for this pic.

After everyone was stable, the birthing team (mama, papa, and midwife) took a much needed rest before completing all of the necessities once the sun came up, including getting Aina's weight and doing a more detailed newborn assessment.

Aina on the scales.  That is my fabulous midwife's baby belly in the picture.  She just had a baby boy!

Tired little baby.  We did not do a great job on the just arrived pics, these will have to do!!

Aina had a little bit of jaundice, so this was her first tanning in the wonderful CO sunshine.

She is pretty comfy on papa's big arms!  You'd think he has done this before, maybe with a few fish?

Hey there sweet cheeks!  One day old.

Proud papa!!!
